Accenture StartingPoint Common Technical Document Templates

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Research and Development Office of Regulated Activities (ORA) is seeking a subscription service for Accenture StartingPoint Common Technical Document (CTD) authoring templates, training, and maintenance to standardize document preparation for FDA regulatory submissions. The procurement requires a comprehensive solution covering all CTD modules (1-5) with macro functionality including symbol tools, reference managers, cross-linking, automatic table of contents generation, and title case formatting to enhance writing efficiency and ensure compliance with FDA and International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) standards. Key technical requirements include compatibility with DoD systems such as Microsoft Windows 10, Microsoft Word 2013/2016 (32-bit), Microsoft Office 365, Open Text Content Server EDMS, and Adobe Acrobat software. The contractor must deliver training materials including user manuals, maintainer documentation, training videos, and flexible training options for individual and group personnel, along with a 12-month warranty covering parts, software updates, labor, and technical support. A Request for Information (RFI) was issued to solicit capability statements from interested vendors by April 18, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET, with the government noting that previous sole-source awards to Accenture Federal Services may no longer be necessary due to potential alternative vendors in the marketplace.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a potential five-year contract with a base year beginning May 4, 2026 and four optional one-year renewal periods, with 15 units requested annually throughout the contract term. Accenture Federal Services is identified as the incumbent contractor, though the government is actively seeking competing sources through this RFI process. The government has not disclosed specific budget figures or award values for this opportunity in the pre-solicitation materials. Interested companies must provide capability statements of no more than ten pages, including organizational information, CAGE Code, SAM registration status, relevant government contracting experience, and detailed technical information demonstrating how their proposed solutions meet the stated CTD requirements. All submissions should be directed to Mr. Kevin Jandovitz at kevin.t.jandovitz.civ@health.mil, and the formal solicitation is expected to follow this RFI phase in the acquisition process.
